Purchase Order Receipts

All purchase order receipt transactions are processed, costed, and accounted at their latest true acquisition costs.

When the invoice isn't available, the latest acquisition costs are the purchase order price and estimated landed cost charges. However, when invoice is available, the latest acquisition costs are the invoice price and actual landed cost charges.

The inventory is valued based on the cost method of the item:

  • Actual Cost and Perpetual Average Cost: Items are costed at the latest acquisition cost for the receipt.

  • Standard Cost: Any difference between the acquisition cost and the standard cost is booked as purchase price variance.

  • Periodic Average Cost: Acquisition cost is considered as value adjustment and added to the inventory value for the period.

Acquisition cost adjustments are propagated to issue transactions if the cost method is actual cost and propagation is enabled on the cost profile.
